The Motorway Police Department became formally operational in what is a major step towards the formation of the Slovenian motorway patrol.
The first patrols aimed at boosting the enforcement of traffic rules and improving safety on the motorway network are expected to hit the road in June as part of the Specialised Motorway Police Unit Ljubljana. It is to be followed by four more regional units (Koper, Novo Mesto, Celje and Maribor), to be established by May 2022 so that the entire motorway network is covered. Once fully operational, the Slovenian highway patrol will employ 285 police officers.
